Helping Australian entrepreneurs scale their business across asean
(and beyond)...
AUSTRALIAN YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS GROUP.
Sign up below to immediately receive a 5-day email course on how AYEG can help you scale your business across ASEAN.
AYEG is the official community for Australia’s next generation of entrepreneurs (under 50 years old). We connect ambitious founders, family business, and start-ups to the broader Asia–Pacific region through networks, events, and opportunities.
What's the problem?
Australia is being left behind.
ASEAN is moving fast.
But Australia remains stagnant.Across Southeast Asia, new unicorns are being built. Venture capital is pouring in. Cross-border partnerships are happening faster than ever.ASEAN is moving at full speed.
Meanwhile, Australia risks being stuck on the sidelines.Stagnant, isolated, and overshadowed.The challenge we face is clear:1/ Isolation from Asia’s fastest-growing opportunities.2/ Deals and partnerships flowing to hungrier, faster founders.3/ A lack of international networks that actually open doors.If we don’t act, Australia’s entrepreneurs will miss out on shaping the future of business in our region.
What are the consequences?
If we don't act.
We lose.
We lose relevance as a nation of entrepreneurs.While our neighbors build global companies, we risk becoming an afterthought.We lose influence in the conversations that shape trade, innovation, and investment across Asia-Pacific.Without a seat at the table, decisions will be made without us.We lose the chance to lead.The opportunities that should belong to Australian entrepreneurs will instead be captured by faster, hungrier founders across the region.Doing nothing is the same as moving backwards.Every partnership we don’t form, every connection we don’t make, and every event we don’t show up to is an opportunity lost to someone else.If we don’t act now, Australia will miss its moment.And once that moment is gone, it won’t come back.
what we need to do next...
Build The future.
The Australian Young Entrepreneurs Group (AYEG).A national platform for ambitious founders who refuse to be left behind.What makes AYEG different?
We’re not just another LinkedIn group or casual meetup. We are the official bridge between Australia’s entrepreneurs and the wider Asia-Pacific business ecosystem.We are connected to the Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI) and the Young Entrepreneurs Group of Asia Pacific (YEGAP), a global network that represent millions of businesses across the region.We are guided by Peter McMullin AM as our Founding Patron, bringing decades of influence across business, law, and philanthropy.We are led by Michael Lim as Founding Chair, an entrepreneur building the bridge between Australia and ASEAN through networks, events, and global partnerships.Our unique mechanism is the Bridge Builder Framework™ a model designed to connect Australian founders with three growth engines:1/ Access → Exclusive events and private roundtables with serious decision-makers.2/ Connections → Curated introductions to founders, investors, and partners across ASEAN.3/ Influence → A seat at the table shaping Australia’s role in the Asia-Pacific’s future.This is the growth engine for entrepreneurs ready to step onto the regional stage with the backing of a global network.
